    American Fugitive is a fun romp through a colourful, top-down GTA-inspired open-world crime-fest. While the game has some issues, such as repetitive missions, as well as stability problems on the Switch, it doesn't stop it from being an all-around fun and engaging title when you're actually playing. The freedom to explore a world of a decent size where there's actually a fair bit of content to go through, including side-elements like finding stashes, doing stunt-jumps and time trials. Is this the next GTA? No, nor was it going to be. Is it a fun, engaging and altogether decent title at a very reasonable price? Most definitely.

    Good game! It’s not perfect but far from bad.
    -Had a few crashes and has some bugs -Loading times at the start and between zones are very long.
    -There’s no real clues in-game for the safe and bunker codes. The hints are almost useless.
    -A lot of Pointless missions , just to fill the game. Run around, do some errands ,etc. Diverges from the main story.
    -Targeting system is mediocre and difficult to adjust because of the point of view and has no locked mechanic.
    -Controls are clunky at best - Dissapointing ending. No cutscenes…nothing. After so much work I was expecting more.
    - None of this facts was a breaking point for me. I finished everything.The game is still fun to play, t
    The gameplay is good,music is appropriate, visuals are great. Tutorials and maps are awesome. Just minor things.

    A homage to the old school top down GTA games, American Fugitive’s awkward controls and repetitive missions means it ultimately fails to offer any long term entertainment.
